JEP 261 will be updated inline, in a way that distinguishes the original 
Java 9 rule from the Java 11 rule.

JEP 261 has scope SE, not scope JDK, so it was intended that the default 
set of root modules is a characteristic of the Java Platform, not just 
the OpenJDK implementation. We'll need to look into why java.lang.module 
says the default set of root modules is implementation specific, and why 
the CSR ended up with scope JDK.
